I can’t help how I ache, how I cry with overwhelming feeling.

It’s not empty desperation,

It’s just that love tightens around my heart like a vice, 

Sending streams of tears down my face, into my lap.

It’s a longing that chokes me, strips me of any strength to fight it.

But I don’t want to fight it.

I want to give in and sink.

Sink to depths I’ve never dreamed of before and let myself die of no air.

Because what else could matter?
